S.No PART-A
1 State superposition theorem.
It states that the response of a linear circuit with multiple sources is given by algebraic
sum of response due to individual sources acting alone.

2 State Thevenin’s theorem.


It states that any linear bilateral network can be replaced by a single currentsource VTH,
in series with single impedance Zt
3 Obtain the Thevenin’s equivalent for the given Norton’s equivalent circuit.

Sol:

4 Obtain the Norton’s equivalent for the given Thevenin’s equivalent circuit.

Sol:
5 Calculate the Thevenin’s equivalent impedance of the circuit in the given figure.

Sol:
Rth=[((3+j4)(5))/( 3+j4+5))]+j5
=(2.5 +j6.25)Ω

6 State Norton’s theorem


It states that any linear bilateral network can be replaced by a single current source, in
parallel with single impedance Zth.
7 What are the limitation of superposition theorem?
This theorem is valid only for linear systems. This theorem can be applied for
calculating the current through or voltage across in particular element. But this
superposition theorem is not applicable for calculation of the power.

8 List the applications of Thevinins theorem.


It is applied to all linear circuits including electronic circuits represented by the
controlled source.
This theorem is useful when t is desired to know the effect of the response in network or
varying part of the network.

9 Give the purpose of star delta transformation.


The transformation of a given set of resistances in star to delta or vice versa proves
extremely useful in circuit analysis and the apparent complexity of a given circuit can
sometime by very much reduced.
10 Obtain the star connected equivalent for the delta connected circuit shown.

Sol:
11 A DC circuit shown in the figure has a voltage V, a current I and several resistors.A
particular resistor R dissipates a power of 4W when V alone is active.The same resistor
dissipates a power of 9W when I alone is active.Find the power dissipated by R when

both the sources are active.


Sol:
Let I1 be the current flowing through R when V alone is active.
Let I2 be the current flowing through R when I alone is active.

I12R =4W
i22R=9W
I1=2/√ R
I2=3/√ R

Total current when I and V are active IT2= I1 + I2


=5/√ R
Power= I2 R
= (5/√ R)2R
=25W

12 Obtain the delta connected equivalent for the star connected circuit shown .

Sol:

13 State reciprocity theorem.


It states that in a linear, bilateral single source circuit the ratio of excitation to the
response is constant w en the position of excitation and response are interchanged.
14 State compensation theorem.
Let I be the current through an impedance Z in a brach of circuit.It states that the change
in current due to change in impedance in a branch will be produced by a compensation
voltage source in the same branch with polarity opposing the original current.
15. State maximum power transfer theorem.
Max power is transferred to load impedance if the load impedance is the complex
conjugate of the source impedance.
16 What are the limitations of maximum power transfer theorem?
The maximum efficiency can be obtained by using this theorem is only 50% .It is
because of 50% of the power is unnecessarily wasted in Rth.Therefore this theorem only
applicable for communication circuits and not forpower circuits where efficiency is
greater importance rather than power delivered.
17 In the circuit shown determine the value of load resistance when the load resistance
draws maximum power. Also find the value of the maximum power.

Sol:

18 What is the condition for maximum power transfer in AC circuits.?


Sol:
In an AC circuit the maximum power will be transferred from source section to the load
section when the impedance of the load is complex conjugate of the source impedance.
19 What is a dual network?
In an electrical circuit itself there are pairs of terms, which can be interchanged to get
new circuits. Such pair of dual terms is given below
Current- Voltage
Open- Short
L-C
R-G
Series – Parallel
Voltage source- Current source
